Feedback: add damage modeling and customizable Hardcore/Permadeath Mode

[John27]

Add damage modelling that could happen like what happened in Wreckfest. Of course toggling of realistic damage is optional.

And there's few ways the protagonist can die (and can be either set to start from beginning of the game or simply the previous garage session), toggle-able:
1. fail to pay the debt in the allotted time and you know what'll happen to the protagonist.
2. trash the car in a high speed accident but the protagonist survived and the protagonist can't buy or change to other car.
3. trash the car in a high speed accident but the airbag failed to save the protagonist, resulting in the obvious.
Even better, make point 2 and 3 cut being an abrupt black screen / blackout for head on collision or a gradual blackout if the car roll over or gradually damaged.

Trashed car can be kept as a reminder of what you've just done, or being sold for paltry amount of cash.

4. Add stamina, as it wears down the view gradually darkens, disorients, and the sound gradually pitched down, it can be replenished by chance with energy drinks or coffee. I would consider water/oil temperature but stamina is easier to understand.
5. Add trigger-able supernatural events, such example like has to be somewhere really really dark and the game reads the system time, supernatural events (the inspiration isn't stranger to this, given the existence of "Death Driver")

I do wish there was more punishment for crashing like having to repair parts, damage models seem complicated though (especially with highly customizable cars). I'm not a game dev so I wouldn't know.

There's a lot of older games with customization and also extensive damage models, even also modded GTA San Andreas

They also only had more than 1 guy working on them.

if you're interested in that kind of hardcore permadeath racing experience you'll probably like Beam Legal Racing(a mod for BeamNG)

Many mods for GTASA and BeamNG drive were made by 1 guy so i think a contributor sourced content would be something of a possibility
